FLUID-CONTAINER. I

I Application filed April 24,

T 0 all whom it may concern Be it known that I, Ann-1m IIInnsCH- MANN,'& citizen of the United States, and a resident of the city of New York, in the county of New York and State of New York, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Fluid-Containers, of which the following is a specification, reference being had to the accompanying drawing, forming part thereof. g Y

This invention relates to fluidcontainers,

and particularly to fluid containers designed to receive and hold a separate bottle or other fluid receptacle 5' the particular em-' bodiment of the invention described herein has to do with a fluid containeror pitcher within which maybe placed and securely held a milk or cream bottle of standard shape and size, so as to permit such bottle to be safely handled andthe fluid poured therefrom, without such bottle being exposed to View.

' It will be understood that such milk botties are crudeand would not present an attractive appearance upon the table, whereas such a bottle, or a succession of such b0ttles, might readily be placed within the container I provide with ease and convenience and with an approach to a more agreeable appearance. 7

In the accompanying drawing, I have shown an embodiment of my. invention, showing a side View in section of my fluid container with a milk or cream' bottle in place within it, v a

In this drawing, my fluid container is shown as a pitcher 1 with a threaded neck or upper portion 10 of sucha size as to permit the bottle 2 to be inserted therethrough. This pitcher has a handle 4 of convenient form and position and the bottom has one or more buttons 6, integral or otherwise,

upon which the bottom of the bottle may v rest.

Above the bottle and assisting inholding such bottle in place is a cap 3 adapted to cooperate with the neck 10 of the pitcher 1; this cap has the additional functions of serving as a cover to the milk bottle and of providing a conduit 7 through which the contents of the bottle may be poured. The cap is of porcelain or the like and the conduit 7 is'formed within the solid mass thereof; the conduit is so shaped that the insertion of the cap within the neck of the pitcher causes the inner end of the conduit to e ist with the 1920.

.The cap 18 may have a vent- I also prefer toprovidethe body portion of the pitcher orfiuid containerwith a spout V 8 which will openat' a'point above thebottom of the threaded portion of the cap but which will fac'ilitatethe' pouring offluid from thepitcher should such container-be used without'the cap and without a bottle 1 wlthin it. It will 'be understood" that cracked ice may 'possiblv be utilized in the space as between the milk bottle 2 and the walls 1 of the body portion of the structure.

may perform all the functions of an 'ordi nary pitcher, but which has the additional and novel function of receiving a milk bot-' tleor the like andholding such bottle firmly in place while protecting its'contents from V In other words, I provide a container which dust, though permitting such contents to be readily poured out.

I do not wish to limit myself to the precise configuration and arrangement of parts shown in my above described preferred emclaims.

What I claim and'wish to protect by Let- 1 ters Patent of the United States is as fol lows r 1; A fluid container, comprising a body portioniadapted to receive a 'milk bottle or the like and having a neck of sufficient size within the solid mass thereof, such conduit registering with the mouth of the bottle and to permit the insertion of the bottle within I serving as a spout through which the con tents of the bottle may be poured.

2. A fluid containercomprising a body portion'adapted to receive a milk bottle or the like and having a threaded neck through iio which such bottle 'may be inserted, such body portion having a spout and a cooperating unitary threaded cap with an opening formed within it and registering with the mouth of the bottle through which the contents of the bottle may be poured.

3. A fluid container comprising a body portion adapted to receive a milk bottle or the like and having a neck of sufficient size to permit the insertion of the bottle within the container and also having a recessed section at the bottom within which the bottom of the bottle may fit, together with a cooperating unitary covered cap detachably secured t to the neck 01" the body portion and having an opening formed within it and registering with the mouth of the bottle through which the contents of the bottle may be poured.

4:. A fluid container comprising a body portion adapted to receive a milk bottle or the like and having a neckof suflicient size to permit the insertion of the bottle within the container and also having a recessed section at the bottom within. which the bottom of the bottle may fit, together with a cooperating unitary covered cap detachably secured to the neck of the body portion and having-an opening formed within it and registering with the mouth of thebottle through which the contents may be poured, such cap being provided with a recess within which the mouth of the bottle may fit.

5. A fluid container comprising a body portion adapted to receive a milk bottle or the like and having a threaded neck of such size as to permit the insertion of such bottle therethrough and also having a spout leading from a portion of theneck above the lower portion of the threaded section togetherwith a unitary covered cap with threads adapted to cooperate with the threads of the neck, such cap having an opening formed within it and registering with the mouth of the bottle through which the contents of the bottle may be poured.

6. A fluid container comprising a body portion adapted to receive and inclose a milk bottle or the like an opening therein through which the bottle may be inserted and a cover portion forming an abutment tor the top of the' bottle and having a solid mass conduit formed within the thereof whichregisters with the mouth of the bottle and serves as a spout through which the contents of the bottle. maybe poured.
